But most people don't realize this that in absolute terms we're not that far behind ! The rupee has depreciated to nearly a third of its value since 1991, then the Yuan has continually appreciated due to strong exports for the last 40 yrs so in essence whilst the gap may seem enormous in dollar terms but relatively speaking we've done better with our current A/C & budget deficits. e.g.look guys its not worth comparing India and china . they have an economy 4 times our size . they implemented reforms 20 yrs before us . and have no problems which the Indian diaspora keeps coming up with .
so instead of feeding these guys with more fuel . just ignore these threads . as of late they seem very common on PDF lately .
The drop in the value of rupee to the tune of ~20% this year takes our GDP figure down by a corresponding number but in rupee terms we're not that far off in terms of growth since 2008. Hence that four times the GDP of IND thing should be taken with a huge grain of salt !
